Vladimir Putin

I'm a normal person. I don't eat babies in the morning.

The main thing is not to be a bore. You should always be interesting.

Sometimes you have to be ready to fall. And to get up again.

I am a man of flesh and blood. I have feelings, and sometimes I even get upset.

There are no former KGB agents. Once you're a spy, you're always a spy.

I work like a galley slave, with no days off.

My grandfather was a cook for Lenin and Stalin. So I have a good genetic connection to power.

I believe that when a man is in a difficult situation, he should act like a man.

When you're trying to prove something to someone, you're already losing.

I have a lot of friends. I don't need any more.

I don't think there is anything funny about me.

Sometimes you have to be flexible. Like a judoka.

I am not a woman, so I don't have bad days.

Russia is a country with a rich history. And a rich future.

I can only advise my people to live a long and happy life.

We are strong because we are united. And we are united because we are strong.

The bear will not ask anyone for permission. The bear is the master of the taiga.

I don't mind if people call me a dictator. It's just a word.

If you don't like something, don't do it. If you do it, don't complain.

I'm not a feminist. I'm a man.
